Maybe everybody should be able to have their own unique custom license plate. I want a picture of Kenny from southpark on mine, perhaps an Anarchy logo, or a picture of an amoeba because it's my favorite animal.

Sounds good to me if you are willing to pay for it.

I think all you need is ten thousand signatures and you can have it. (Although you might run into some copyright issues.)

If he wants to "express himself" he can paint up his car like the Duke boys, slap on bumper stickers, etc.
No need to waste my tax dollars on an offensive license plate.

But if he has the signatures and has followed the process then why can't he have his vanity plate? Why is his group any different than the dozens of other groups who have plates? Or Lucifer's anarchy group?

To me the confederate flag is about as offensive as the swastika. Well actually the swastika had centuries of benign usage and even used to be the insignia of the US Army 45th infantry until the 1930s. There has never been anything acceptable throughout all of history about the confederate flag in my opinion.

He followed the process and was told he did not meet the criteria. All of the current license plates are non-offensive.
I would hope for the same result if someone petitioned to fly the confederate flag over a government building.
Frankly I feel we have too many license plates already. He can express himself differently.

They generate a lot of extra revenue for the state, which helps balance the state budget!
Edit - I looked it up: 35 million in revenue for the 2009-2010 fiscal year!

I thought they were supposed to raise money for whatever cause was on the license plate?
Still think there are too many though.
